the middle of which there is net work of
wire, in which there is interviewer many
pendant ribbons and large variety of COL
ored paper trim Tings. When all was ready
another bull was driven in. As he passed
under the arched gateway his back was
pierced with banderilla which hung by its
barbed point and set him wild and
frantic in the extreme. In bis awful
agony he lunged. paved, beloved, and in
his wild and frantic rage he dashed away,
made bound and cleared the fence around
the enclosure which was about six feet
high. OF course he cleared things in his
way, and scattered the maids aud madrinss
in every direction; soon, however, he was
recnptured b. Inc laZadores (lasso men) and
brought back, when, before being killed, he
unhorsed tive inaD, killed two horses and
routed the bravest cf his torturers, and at
last, to the lasting shame Of the ioreros he
was lassoed ard slain with the sword while
securely tied. Yet a shout of Joy snd vic.
tory went up il behalf OF the wculd.be
modern gladiators. After this the arena
was again cleared, and another animal
brought in and tortured with sword and
spear until from the loss Of blood ne fell and
expired. Thus It continued until four
horses and six bulls were killed. In some
of these fights we have seen g frantic beast,
apparently insane with pain, dash bindly
against walls Of the arena, while dozen
barbed spears were dangling from his fore
head, back and sides, The riobcas ou them
we're waving iu the breeze; the sword was
entered to The hilt, and horses waliowing
in their own blood while expiring III the
agony Of death, and al this only to satiete
the barbarous hunger OF the multitude.
This performance lasted abon; four hours,
during which time four horses and six bulls
breathed their last to the sound of slow
music: after which all the toreros advanced
to the carpeted steps in front of the seats Of
honor, and there on bended knees received
from fair madrinas trbuteso ribbons and fes-
toons of flowers as partial reward for the
inhuman crueties which they had Inflicted
On few DUMB brutes during this beautiful
Sabbath evening. RAMBLER.

Asking a Blessing.

There is nothing which is right for
US to do, but it is also right to ask that
God would bless it; and, indeed, there
is nothing so little but the frown of
God can convert it into the most sad
calamity, or his smile exalt it into a
most memorable mercy; and there is
nothing we can do, but its complex
ion for veal or woe depends entirely
on what the Lord will make it. 1t is
said of Matthew Henry, that no jour-
ney was undertaken, or any subject or
course of sermons entered upon, no
book committed to the press, nor any
trouble apprehended or felt without a
particular application to the mercy
seat for direction, assistance, and sue
cess. 1t is recorded of Cornelius Win
ter, that he seldom opened book,
even on general subjects, without q
moments prayer. The late Bishop
Heber, on each new incident of his
history, or on the eve of any under
taking, used to compose brief prayer
impIoring special help and guidance.
A late physician of great celebrity
used to ascribe much of his success to
three maxims of his fathers, the last
and best of which was "Always pray
for your patients. ."-Dr. j. Hamilton.

same trouble that I have had to get
their little ones to "say their prayers"
have sometimes heard of mothers
who had to punish their children by
refusing good night kiss, etc, to pre-
vail upon the little one to pray. The
first two or three times I met this OBJ
stacle tried that plan, but the results
were very unsatisfactory. If [ sue
ceeded had the consciousness that l
had not succeeded in making my child
love prayer. A new thought came to
me; think God sent it. "Would
you like new prayer?" 20 yes; de-
lightful" And from that day to this
there has never been any recurrence of
the trouble providing new prayers are
introduced at the proper time. The
elder brother is promoted in regular
order from "Now I lay me" to the
Lords prayer, which is considered a
very large prayer; and the younger
ones aspire to whatever the elder ones
do. When we are very tired we glad
ly 60 back to a short prayer. If a
prayer has several verses we learn one
at time. Here are some beautiful
prayers I found in an old-fashioned
ehild's book that may help some be-
wildered mother:
"Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me;
Bless thy little child tonight;
Through the darkn eSs be thou near me;
Watch my sleep till morning light"
"All this day thy hand has led ME,
And thank thee for thy care;
Thou hast warmed me, clothed me, fed me,
Listen to my evening prayer"
"Let my sins be all forgiven,
Bless the friends love SO well;
Take me when die to heaven,
Happy there with thee to dwell"
"Father, thank thee for this day:
For health and friends and food;
Oh, wash my many sins away
In Jesus precious blood.
Lord. through the silence of the night
Be to my pillow near;
And, with returning life and light,
Still make O child thy care"
When they are tired of all their
child-prayers I hope they will have
learned to bring their personal wants
to Jesus, and never tire of prayer
again.
